To be fair, growing up in the country mail carriers always did, but for the years I lived in the city they had a
car, but walked the block delivering the mail anyway, and I am pretty
sure I'd have been left off the route today. Here's why-
OK, Greyhawk Adventures is post Gygax
TSR, but it is still 1st edition and I didn't have a copy. I have
read it before, back in the day, my buddy Darryl's dad used to buy
him all the new books for birthdays and Christmas and stuff. My
parents got religion though and cut me off, so I had to buy my own
stuff, TSR quality dropped after Oriental Adventures (some might say
before), so I spent my allowance money on stuff I could use; like
Dragon Magazine and miniatures and new games.
I actually already owned a copy of this
2nd edition AD&D Celts book, but it was given to my by a friend
who had bought it used and the douche-bag he bought it from kept the
map and cut the monster section out of the book. Now I have a
pristine copy, and I'll be passing this copy on to my buddy Darryl,
who might use it as a resource for the Warband 1/2 of our dual 43
AD/Warband campaign.
OK, I know I swore off Legend of the
Five Rings RPG stuff because no one else wants to play, but I already
have the 2nd module in this series.
And these 2 books were $4.99 each.
These 2 came wrapped in a glittery
cotton or polyester protective coat. I got the 1st edition book for
Dalton, since I already have 3 and he was interested in the game
maybe for his own group.
And this is a board/card game, so I can
play it with my friends and family; it's only tangentially related to
the RPG I want them to play with me. Plus, at 59.99 on the website,
it's probably the most expensive game I own, via the MSRP. I got it for less than 1/2 that with free shipping!
